A-Frame Garden Trellis Saves Space

Grow your biggest harvest of blemish-free produce in minimal space

Sets up quickly, folds flat for storage

Frame only; trellis netting sold separately

Maximize your harvest of peas, cucumbers, summer squash and melons by growing them up this space-saving trellis. The poly-coated steel poles clip together without tools to create a frame that's approximately 5' high x 5' long. This support gives you 42 square feet of growing space in a 15 square foot footprint. Support the vines by adding your own twine or netting, or use our Biodegradable Netting, sold separately.

Hopefully will be strong enough to support the squash when they develop. Seems flimsy.There are notches on the frame to attach the recommended netting, but they didn't work too well- not sure if the netting will stay in place once it has to support the weight of the vegtables.

I had excellent A-frames 10 years ago and had expected something useful & similar. Here I had difficulty keeping the middle triangle of legs from falling off. Leg ends were deep in soil, but plastic clips to join pieces were inadequate and the whole thing continued to fall down -even before anything was growing on it. When I tried staking the ends with tent pegs and string, the top piece would fall off. The poles are quite thin adding to the flimsiness. Took it down after a week. I have loved growing cucumbers, peas, flowers and small melons in slings on an A-frame in the past. Great picture in your catalog.

Should have read other reviews before purchase they were all correct. I thought I hit the jackpot with the price. Poor quality I returned it right away.

the A-frames are not very sturdy and the netting comes on a roll and is very difficult to stretch and secure over the A-frame poles. As the cucumbers are growing over the netting the netting is not strong enough to hold them up and the netting is stretching allowing the cucumbers to drop near/on the ground.

I ordered this A-frame to support my pea vines. It assembled easily with another person helping, but I think one person could assemble it with patience. It comes with 3 hinged pieces and a straight piece that snaps into the top. You drape your netting over and tie it in place. At the end of the season, the netting can be removed with the vines attached, and the frame taken down to store until next season. I ordered the biodegradable netting to make it easier to dispose of in the compost pile.

...I found out that it was the upright/cross pieces only without any kind of foundation for my vines; that I would have to purchase netting separately. Seems like it should be offered with a "standard" netting (as shown in illustration; if offered with that, I would have bought) and the option to purchase/make a different netting of your own to "personalize/customize" it to your specific needs.

If you want to grow flowers from seed, start with sweet peas. The large seeds are easy to manage and most varieties germinate readily. Plus, the resulting blooms are gorgeous and sweetly scented.
